From the Our Creative Spirit
Home Page: You are invited to a dance - actually three dances -
an inner dance, outer dance and a dance between the inner and the
outer. (More on.... why is meeting your creative spirit called a
dance)
One question that arises is, "Why are the relationships of the
creative spirit called dances?" The reason for this is any
experience of any creation is dualistic. There is the creator and
the one who experiences the creation. You cannot escape the duality
of Creation.
If you look inward, you will find the creator and what the creator
desires to experience. If you look outward, you will find the
creation they seek. Your awareness, the part of you that recognizes
you exist is both the creator and the one who experiences the
creation. Each and every moment the awareness has a choice. It can
choose to create or it can choose to experience the creation it has
created. Unless you are aware and awake you will not realize you
have such a choice and that you are responsible for the choice that
is made. To not be aware and awake to choose is a choice.
Your creative power and ability, whether experience as a creative
spirit that gives you a passion for life or as a flow of energy
flowing into an expression of the desired creation is how your
awareness perceives the creative powers available to it. Your
creative spirit is
the expression of your awareness that is both the energy which
creates the experience (the creator) and it is the awareness that
experiences the creation. As such, it can choose to create or choose
to surrender to what is.
If we do not surrender to what is and what arises before us, we will
never become aware of what how and what we are responsible for
creating. Only in surrendering can we bgein to see from where the
flow of energy comes that is giving rise to the creation we
experience. If we learn how to surrender, we will appear under the
control of forces well beyond our control rather than coming to the
realization of how we created the experience we are having.
Additionally, if we never surrender to our creation, we never get to
experience the joy and satisfaction of our creation. We will always
feel we are missing something from life - and we are. We never get
to experience what we desire for we are too busy in the moment
trying to create rather than experience what we have already
created. It is what is meant by the proverbial saying, “If the
journey never ends, the purpose is the journey.” Creation is a
journey that never ends. We must learn to experience the journey and
stop looking for its end - that afterlife, that beloved/Beloved,
that success, salvation, heaven, or wherever form we give the end.
To not surrender, is to be in mind and what it thinks and believe.
It is to be that masculine aspect of creation always thrusting but
never to enjoy the fruits of its creation.
Similarly, if we are always surrendering to the journey, we will
never get what we want for the energy is always flowing based on our
past actions and the
deep undercurrents of Creation which provides the backdrop,
stage or playground for our creative endeavors. We will seem to be
under the control of influences well beyond our ability and power.
In the process of continually surrendering, in time, we lose our
creative power analogous to the way our muscles atrophy and become
weak over time because of non use. If you want a strong creative
power you have to exercise and use your creativity. To always
response to what we feel without the wisdom of exploring what we
desire and why is to always be surrendering. To always give and
nurture another or others without being nurtured is to always be
surrendering. To always be surrendering is to be stuck in the
feminine aspect of creation always nurturing but never getting what
it desires. In time, one is simply drained dry and one’s creative
life energy is sucked out.
So the experience of Creation and each and every level of Creation
is a dance. There is the mind which desires and the heart which
surrenders. There is the inner world thrusting out to make its mark
in the external world and there is the inner world that surrenders
to the world that is. There is the outer world which forces itself
to cause us to respond in the way it wants and there is the outer
world that surrenders and gives us the space to do it our way. The
key to satisfaction and accessing our creative power to create what
we desire to dance. It is to dance between being the creator and
surrendering to the creation.
Yet
to dance, one must first
learn to walk. To learn to walk one must learn to go into and
out of balance. It is to learn how to step into, and out of, mind in
a never ending dance of
creation/Creation. Without learning to go into and out of
balance, you can never move forward to create something new. You
will always be recreating the past and stuck in a cyclic creation
loop. The concept of being stuck in that cyclic creation loop has
been given by some the name of “Karma.”
Yet to be suck in a continuous cycle of creation is nothing more
than not
learning how to dance. In learning how to dance to become a
creator and surrendering to your creation you change that karmic
loop or cycle into
spiral. Within the dance you learn to create bigger and more
expanding creations that will totally encompass the experience you
have and the reality of those experiences. Yet, it is all about
learning to dance.
